BD CultureSwab MaxV(+) outperformed the other two swabs for the recovery of the three fastidious organisms,\n            <jats:italic>Haemophilus influenzae<\/jats:italic>\n            ,\n            <jats:italic>Neisseria gonorrhoeae<\/jats:italic>\n            , and\n            <jats:italic>Neisseria meningitidis<\/jats:italic>\n            for up to 48 h. Indeed, BD CultureSwab MaxV(+) maintained a constant number of viable\n            <jats:italic>H. influenzae<\/jats:italic>\n            and\n            <jats:italic>N. meningitidis<\/jats:italic>\n            for up to 48 h, and only a 2 log reduction was noted for\n            <jats:italic>N. gonorrhoeae<\/jats:italic>\n            , fulfilling the requirements of M40-A guidelines. However, unlike Remel BactiSwab and the Medical Wire &amp; Equipment Transwab, which fulfilled the M40-A requirements for maintaining the viability of\n            <jats:italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n            , BD CultureSwab MaxV(+) could not maintain the viability of\n            <jats:italic>S. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n            reference or clinical strains past 6 h. Excellent overall sensitivity (98%) (95% confidence interval, 89.5 to 99.7) was observed when the BD CultureSwab MaxV(+) rectal swabs were compared to the \u201cgold standard\u201d stool cultures. Thus, the BD CultureSwab MaxV(+) rectal swab can be used when investigating gastrointestinal bacterial outbreaks or when health care providers face difficulties in obtaining stool samples, particularly from children.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jcm.02110-06","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,3]],"date-time":"2007-02-03T02:42:31Z","timestamp":1170470551000},"page":"1278-1283","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Survival of Fastidious and Nonfastidious Aerobic Bacteria in Three Bacterial Transport Swab Systems"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Nabeel","family":"Rishmawi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Caritas Baby Hospital, Bethlehem, West Bank"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raed","family":"Ghneim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caritas Baby Hospital, Bethlehem, West Bank"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Randa","family":"Kattan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caritas Baby Hospital, Bethlehem, West Bank"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Riyad","family":"Ghneim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caritas Baby Hospital, Bethlehem, West Bank"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madeleine","family":"Zoughbi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caritas Baby Hospital, Bethlehem, West Bank"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Afaf","family":"Abu-Diab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caritas Baby Hospital, Bethlehem, West Bank"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sultan","family":"Turkuman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caritas Baby Hospital, Bethlehem, West Bank"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rula","family":"Dauodi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caritas Baby Hospital, Bethlehem, West Bank"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Issa","family":"Shomali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caritas Baby Hospital, Bethlehem, West Bank"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abed El-Razeq","family":"Issa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caritas Baby Hospital, Bethlehem, West Bank"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Issa","family":"Siriani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caritas Baby Hospital, Bethlehem, West Bank"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiyam","family":"Marzouka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caritas Baby Hospital, Bethlehem, West Bank"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irmgard","family":"Schmid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caritas Baby Hospital, Bethlehem, West Bank"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Musa Y.","family":"Hindiyeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caritas Baby Hospital, Bethlehem, West Bank"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.42.7.3207-3211.2004"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/jcm.25.10.2020-2022.1987"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.38.2.892-894.2000"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","unstructured":"CLSI. 2003.
